To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.

Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.

In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help.

I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
